My heart sinks. No no no no. This is not happening. This is NOT happening! Okay, calm down, Kas.
Meditate. Find him through our connection. You're a Goddess, damn it.
“Alright, if | have to be on lockdown, can it be in the meditation room, please?" | ask Lady Camille.
“Of course, Luna lokaste. Please be careful in your search. Sister Delilah, please accompany your Luna. Should she need anything, you are to assist in any way you can," Lady Camille says in a comforting manner.
“Thank you, Lady Camille,” | sigh with my hands over my heart.
Marco gently takes me by the elbow and leads me to the meditation room with James and Delilah right behind us. Marco and James have never really needed to protect me from a threat. It was shocking to see how their demeanor changed from being watchful to being protective.
There's no windows or other doors in the meditation room. It is dimly lit with mats and cushions placed on the floor. There is a hint of music playing in the background. One way in, one way out. The perfect location to be protected by my guards. They make sure no one else is in the room, James kisses Delilah deeply, then they step out, and close the door behind us.
"Okay, Delilah, I'm going to try to find my mate through our connection. Please pray to Goddess Hecate to keep me safe," I look into her deep blue eyes as we join hands.
"Okay. I'm right here if you need me, Luna lokaste," she looks at me with compassion and worry. | can't help but chuckle.
“Delilah, if you're coming to live with us, please, call me Kas or Luna Kas if you insist on using my title," | plead with her with as much of a smile as | can muster.
She smiles shyly and nods.
| sit on the soft mat on the floor, close my eyes, and let my spirit extend out into the universe.
